The workaround is to use the --ignorearch option for rpm. For example, for aarsi3x use: rpm –Uvh –force –ignorearch aarsi3x-7.00.054.S205-1.ul10_sp4.athlon.rpm For a320raid, use: rpm –Uvh –force –ignorearch a320raid-3.00.054.V580-1.ul10_sp4.athlon.rpm 3.0 Web Sites and Support Phone Number _______________________________________ o For the latest list of supported operating systems, see the IBM Server Proven - SCSI and RAID Controllers Web site: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/controllers/matrix.html o With the original purchase of an IBM hardware product, you have access to extensive support coverage.
